Would you like to die here, George?

Chapter 14: Searching

It had been a day and a half since Dream had gone missing, both Sapnap and George had spent a lot of time thinking about things Dream had said that day or previously that could have been a hint to where he was now. They hadn't eaten much, apart from a few small snacks. They hadn't heard from him, although they didn't expect too. Sapnap decided on searching around the house for things he might have left around to hint, but there was nothing.

"Why would he leave all of his stuff? He even left his wallet and card." George said, pulling out the card in Dream's wallet.

"Because he wasn't planning on leaving." Sapnap guessed, shrugging his shoulders.

"I think we need to go to the police." George worried, biting his lip. "Report a missing person."

"No! He did this for Drista, he's protecting her. He wouldn't want us to do that."

George rubbed the temples of his forehead with his fingers, squinting his eyes shut.

Dreams POV:

It had been a day since he had 'gone missing' and there was no sign of George or Sapnap. He regretted leaving with Techno, he could have come up with something better to protect Drista, but he instead he's had to hurt his best friend and boyfriend and worry them. Dream was losing hope quicker than he had expected too, he thought George and Sapnap would have found him by now, come to the rescue.

"Hey Dreamie." Techno said, taking a seat next to Dream once again.

Dream just wanted to punch him in the face, watch him suffer and bleed. He resisted that urge, not sure of the consequences.

"Hi." Dream replied, not making eye contact.

"Look at me, pretty boy."

"I don't want too."

Dream stood up.

"Why are you such a pain in the ass?" Techno grabbed Dream by his collar, slamming him against the wall. His face inches closer to Dream's, his breath tickling Dream's lips. (i fixed it people)

"You're gonna give me just as much pleasure as you have George." Techno whispered into Dream's ear, pulling him closer.

"Techno, stop it."

Techno reached for Dream's chin, lips centimetres apart. Techno leaned in but before their lips could touch, someone entered the room.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing? You know the rules." The voice echoed, peering in the door with a black outfit on, the hood covering his face.

"I-" Techno started, pulling away from Dream and looking towards the figure. "I'm sorry Boss."

This was the most scared Dream had seen Techno. Wait, boss? There's more than one.

"Meet me in my office, now."

With that, the figure was gone. Techno stood awkwardly for a second before regaining his act and looking towards Dream, pointing towards the bed.

"Who was that?" Dream questioned, not expecting an answer.

Techno stayed silent.

"You're working together aren't you? You want revenge on me, or George and you're getting it. This is what this is, a big group of babies who hold grudges. How many of you are there?"

"Dream, stop asking a questions. I cant answer them."

Dream rolled his eyes, but calmed himself down.

"I'm sorry." Techno said before leaving the room.

There was a lot of shouting after that.

George POV:

A few days without Dream-

George kept looking over the letter, tears in his eyes. The words I love you brought pain, he may never hear them words come from Dreams mouth again. There was nothing hinting where Dream went, or why. Sapnap was upstairs looking through Dream's stuff.

"Wait." George muttered, bringing the letter closer to his face and looking at the words. "Sapnap?"

Sapnap jogged down the stairs, seeing George wipe the tears from his face.

"I think I figured something out." George started again, handing the letter to Sapnap. "Look at the first letter of each sentence."

George could see Sapnap's face of
confusion drop when he seen the word it spelt out.

"Techno?" Sapnap questioned, looking up from the note. "What does Techno have to do with this?"

"There is no way that's a coincidence." George replied, taking the note and folding it up. "Let's go."

"Go where?"

George dragged Sapnap out of the house, Sapnap barley having his shoes on and made their way to Techno's place, it was a small flat. George remembered seeing Techno at one point when he first moved to the city, he was moving stuff into that place and him and Dream had a small, awkward conversation.

"Woah woah, okay George. Think about this for a second." Sapnap assured, holding George back from banging on Technos door.

"Think about what? Fuck off, Sapnap. I want Dream back." George snapped, snatching his arm back and pounding on the door. "Open the fuck up."

Sapnap watched his friend pound on the door, trying not to break down. After a long 2 minutes of loud pounding, an older women came out.

"What's wrong my lovely's?" She said, fairly politely which shocked them both because of the amount of banging they were doing. (istg)

"Is he home?" George asked, smiling.

"Hasn't been for a while, he doesn't use that place much anymore. Haven't seen him here since the day he moved in, i think he uses it as storage which is strange because he mentioned something about hiring a storage container."

"He did?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

"We just really need to speak to him that's all, is there a way we can get in here?"

Sapnap shot George a confused glare as the women spoke up.

"Here. But you didn't get it from me." She giggled before walking away, entering her place again.

"A hair clip?" George said, confused.

"Lockpick the door, George." Sapnap replied, rolling his eyes.

George fiddled with the door for a minute before getting in, the place was a mess. Containers of paper work were tipped everywhere, the papers sprawled out over the floor.

"Oh wow."

"Let's get started."

Sapnap was hesitant to go searching through peoples things, but he wanted Dream back just as much as George did so he kneeled down and began picking up paper.
